Solution

The correct option is A ₹45000
Let the amount invested in scheme A be ₹x and that in scheme B be ₹y.
x + y = ₹50000 ..........(i) $\times$ 5
$\frac{5 x}{100} + \frac{7 y}{100}$ = ₹3400
$\Rightarrow$ 5x + 7y = ₹340000 ........(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get :
5x + 5y = ₹250000
5x + 7y = ₹340000
-----------------------
2y = ₹90000
y = ₹45000
So, Amount invested in scheme B = y = ₹45000
